FOR THE JUNE ELECTION.

: One of the proposed amendments
which is to be decided by the people
of Oregon at the special November
election is that changing the time Of
holding elections from June until Nov
ember. The reason fer the proposed
change is that during the Presidential
years we hold two elections one in
June and the other in November
And the passage of this measure would
save the expense and trouble of the
juno election. But the saving weuld
only be once in four years and it is
always doubtful whether any small
money consideration should be allowed
to interfere with what may be to the
interest of the state and people. The
writer is decidedly of the opinion that
it is an erroneous principle to elect the
President of the United States at the
same time that State and county Off
GERS are being chosen. The Presiden-
tial office should be filled at an election
devoted entirely to the discussion Of
national measures and candidates, and
should not be mixed up with petty
local affairs and quarrels over county
spoils. 1t should not be made trad
ing scheme in the interest of corrupt
and dishonorable politicians who
would seek to feather their own nest at
the expense of The peoples desire in
matters Of great national importance.
Most of the states have elections every
year for some of their officers and Ore
gon with its four years term for state
offices and two orcounty, has none too
frequent elections and the fact that
the Presidential election comes by
itself, freed from all chance at corrupt
bargains and sales is matter more for
congraiulation than regret. There
should be general discussion Of this
question By the press of the state and
the verdict of the people would doubt
less be in favor Of letting well enough
alone and of sustaining the June cleo
ton.

RIILRO4D TNTESTIG .ITION.

The government investigation of
the construction and management of
the Central Pacific rail.oad threatens
to involve Senator Stanford, Of Cali

the same state in considerable trouble
There is no doubt but that a large
amount Of the money made 10y the rail

made by dlshonorablo methods, and If
the people could bring the guilty par
tiesEto justice it would be in accordance
with the present era of prosecution of
those who betray high trusts. The re-
cent conviction of jacob Sharp, who
bribed the board Of New York alder
men mast make bube-givers, however
rich, feel as though day of reckoning
were at hand. Before the committee

ton, but the latest phase in California
has closed the investigation until The
courts can be appealed to, the sccretar,
of several construction companies" re

AI,. Sherman as a Candidate.

The recent Ohio republican state
convention, which nominated Governor
Foraker for reelection, passed practi
cally unanimously resolution endors-
ing Senator John Sherman, of that
state, for the presidential nomination
next year. Senator Sherman, in point
of ability and experience, is one of
the most prominent public men in the
republican party, but as presidential
factor, there has been nothing
in his long public career which has
eyer linked him with the cause of the
people. He has grown rich in Office,
being a millionaire and as secretary of
the treasury under Hayes he was the
subservient tool of the Wall street
money power. That there would be
a powerful effort made by the corpora
tions to elect Senator Sherman no one
can doubt Probably with the single
exception of Leland Stanford, Of Cali
fornia, who is to be considered as a
presidential quantity, there is no man
in the nation, who would suit the rail-
roads, the banks, the Jay Goulds and
the money cormorants more as presl-
dent than Mr. Sherman. With this
class, on the other hand, Mr.. Blaine,
who must be regarded as the head of
the republican party, is not popular
Not, in fact, because they doubt his
subserviency to the money power as
the famous Delmonico dinner testified,
but because Mr. Blaine entertains
many demagogic schemes that would
doubtless considerably unsettle the
business Of the country, provided it
were ever so unfortunate as to elevate
him to the chief magistracy. Mr..
Sherman has no love for the common
people and makes no pretense to any.
His presidential boom seems to be
growing larger as Mr.. Blaine's grows
more beautifully less. But no matter
which, if either, secures the nomination
as Mr. Cleveland will be inaugurated
for his second term on March 4th 1889.

SCHOLARSHIPS in the State Univer-
sity are not sought as eagerly as might
perhaps be expected. One reason, no
doubt, is the high price of ordinary
board and lodging in Eugene which
students have to pay. From four to
five dollars q week in a country town,
where the fare is plain and the rooms
ordinarily furnished, IS too high price
for pupils to pay. At least it is too
much for those pupils to whom the
small saving resulting from procuring
scholarship is matter of Importance
There are a number of people in
Eugene, who consider the university
in the light of an institution created
for their benefit, just as many Salem
people regard the state fair, and as a
consequence, they strive to make the
most of it by serving plain country
food at city prices to students who
are trying to exc their way through a
classical course in this institution. It
is no doubt that to this fact is due the
many vacancies in scholarships, and
the further fact that many of these
scholarships are forfeited by the ab-
sence of pupils after the first year.

GoOD TINES HERE.

All indications demonstrate that the
era of business depression in Douglas
county is at an end and that good
times are being ushered in. All that
is necessary is for our people to take
advantage of the splendid oppor-
tunities which nature has vouchsafed
to our favored region and by push and
energy develop the resources that are
lying in all directions. The continual
stream of money that has been pour
ing into this country for the past year
has at last turned the tide and the
boom is upon us. In the first place
there has been a steady and ready sale
in the stock market, thousands and
thousands of dollars com ng into the
country in return for horses, cattle and
sheep, which at fair prices always rep
resent two per cent month. Then
the wool clip was large and found a
quick sale at good prices, then followed
the large real estate transactions, going
up into the thousands Of dollars and
bringing into the country men of cap
ital who will invest in building up the
country. This region is bound to vie
with Southern California in all nat
ural resources. The climate cannot be
excelled for even temperature, neither
too hot nor cold The cool summer
nights alone are resource that win
yet sell climate for us, as it is sold in
lefs favored sections. Now let our
people turn their attention to the fruit
industry, to the establishing and build
ing up of manufactures and Douglas
county will push TO the front backed
as it is by the finest climate beneath
the blue dome of heaven and resources
wonderful iultheir extent and grandeur.

Production of, Wealth.

Rev. G. NJ. Steele asks in Work and
Wages: 'Is it really true that labor
produces all the wealth of the world3
OF course, by labor here Is meant the
putting forth of physical energy, other
wise the succeeding sentences have no
meaning Does any one who thinks
at all about the subject believe that
the great factories, the docks, the vast
buildings of stone and brick and iron
in our great cities, the railroads, the
mighty steamships, the complicated
machines and innumerable other struc-
lures are the result of manual labor
alone? Suppose there is a line of rail
way fifty miles in length to be built,
and five thousand steady, intelligent,
and reliable laborers are told TO go and
build it. Will they be able to build
the bridges, to make the deep cuts, to
construct the causeways through treach
erous swamps, to calculate the grades,
and do other equally difficult parts of
the workl How many ordinary wage
laborers would it take to produce a
Corliss engine, the first of its kind!
No; there must be much besides mus
cular effort in order to attain these
results. There must be toll of brain,
long and protracted, and often ex-
hausting thought, sometimes accom-
panied by great sacrifices and great
hardships. In order to extensive pro-
duction there are required great men
tai qualities, some of them of a rare
kind There is needed power to con-
trive, to invent, to organize, to direct,
or little can be achieved. The man
who blows the organ might claim that
he produces all the music of the in
strument. 1t is true he is generally
an essential condition, but not by any
means the only or the most essential
condition. No more is manual labor
the only or the most essential condi-
ton of the production of great wealth.

HONESTDEBTs MEYER OUTLITED.
The Providence Journal relates this
incident: A man walked into gen
tleman's furnishing goods store on
Westminster street Friday and asked
the amount of bill, with interest
which he had run up in the year 1873.
When the debt was contracted he was
living rather fast, and soon after that
time he disappeared. The proprietor
gave him the amount of the bill and
interest. (Which was well nigh double
its original amount, J and he paid it.
He vas then asked if he knew that he
was not legally bound to pay it; that
the claim was outlawed. EYES," was
the answer, "but Pm not outlawed.
The same afternoon another man came
into the store and slid that the same
forgotten debtor had paid him large
outlawed bill with interest.
This illustrates the important differ
ence between man who lad integrity
rooted deep in his moral nature and a
man who was only as honest as the
law compelled him to be Men of this
sort would need 70 system of CONNER

Der and pirate, when oacc caught and
convicted, ought to be stcrnly punished.
His villainy robs good men of that
generous treatment they deserve at the
hands of the business world. The
sentiment thatwhilc claim may "out.

with an honest debtor; that man is
bound to pay when lie can on the prin
ciple that no debt can outlaw undel
the moral law with moral man, is
the feeling of every true man. lie ac
cepts the indul gence of the law which
gives him relief from the full weight oi
his burden as humane opportunity
awarded him, not for the purpose oi
ev;,ding or extinguishing his honest
debts, but in order to give him chance
to again get on his feet and pay what
he owes. Of course great many mer

wise in morals than the grant of {
chance to shake off the load that drag
him under water-to reach the shore
and to work his way to the commant
of a new ship. When a man who ha'
had legal release granted him by a,
act OF bankruptcy or statute of limi
tations, finds himself once more firmly
on his feet, able to pay without sub
jecting his wife and children to exccs
sive sacrifice of the direst nccessitie
of life, he is morally bound to pay, ant
if he is of the tight metal he will pa,

who paid an outlawed claim on TIN

Replying to questions concerning the
plans of the Southern Pacific railroad
in Oregon, Vice President Crocker
states that the officials of that road have
no plans outlined for the immediate
future. Ali their energies are exerted
toward completion of the line over and
through the Siskiyou mountains.
Work on the remaining 500 feet Of the
tunnel is being pushed with great rapid
ity.4 Not minute of the twenty-four
hours in the day, or the seven days in
the week, is lost. Three gangs are at
work, changing every eight hours.
With reference to the proposed line
through Eastern Oregon. he states that
surveyors arc still III the field, but they
have not yet made sufficient rro-
gress to enable the directors of the
road to formulate plans for a line
through that region, if it should be
deemed advisable to build there.
He again takes occasion to say that
the Southern Pacific has not, nor has it
had in contemplation the building of a
line between Astoria and Portland.
One point, however, spoken of will be
of especial interest, at lc ,st to residents
of the middle and UPPER Willamette
valley. lie says the railroad officials
have now under consideration pro
.ject Of alnitlns the east and west
branches of the Oregon d California
railroad The beginning Of the con-
Meeting link will be at Corvallis, on
the west side, but Just where connec-
ton will be made with the cast side
road has not been decided on. Con
ncction will not he made immediately,
but the statement is made that as TO
its Icing made at time not fr re-
mote is certain.
